    What Breed am I ? Feather Footed Chicks...

    One of my husband's friends has a wife that works in a nursing home. For easter they decided to hatch some eggs donated to them by a local farmer. Since they aren't allowed to keep the chickens at the nursing home they donated the chicks to me. Only problem is I don't have any idea what they...

    Bronze Hens

    This is one of my bronze hens. She may be mixed with a little Eastern wild though, she was given to me by my husband's uncle so I didn't have much info on the poults when I got them.

    Hen not laying for tom?

    Western PA isn't too far from me so your girls should be right behind. Are you close to the lake? I've noticed that the closer you get to Lake Erie the cooler it is. While it was 65 here all last week it was around 53 in Buffalo. Maybe it still being cooler is causing your girls to not want to...

    How many eggs will she lay before she decides to sit on the eggs ?

    If my hens would get their act in gear, I would love to let them go broody. Let them each hatch a clutch and be done with it for the season. The rest of the season's eggs would be breakfast, yum! Unfortunately we have other breeding issues going on so that's not in the cards for me right now.

    How come my turkey is cowering?

    Quote: I feel your pain. I have 2 hens, one is laying eggs and the other isn't. The one laying eggs isn't "cowering" and the one with no eggs yet is. It is so frustrating.

    Hen not laying for tom?

    I have 2 bronze/EW mix hens, 1 bronze tom, and 1 black spanish tom. My hens were hatched out last May. One of the hens is laying eggs but will not lay down for the tom. I have sat out there for hours watching them and nothing (ironically the other hen who is not laying eggs yet does lay down...

    She is so gosh darn adorable!!!! My 2 yr old is a chick-a-holic too! BTW what beautiful boxers! They are the greatest dogs, I will never own another breed. Once my husband's 90 yr old pug kicks the bucket I hope to get another.

    someone tell me its ok to move them to the garage brooder-PICS inc...

    I have a similar setup for my brooder in the garage. I hung my light on an adjustable ratchet strap to make it easy to raise. I also use a blanket in the beginning to keep the temp a little warmer.

    taking care of the rooster!!!!

    Good for you! I had a rooster a few weeks ago that was terrorizing my 8 year old and suprisingly my DH. He tried it once with me but I gave him a good chase and he didn't do it again. Unfortunately, in my situation he was really hurting my 8 year old and with me also having a 2 yr old and a 4...
